00:00Well, what went down in this 1913 victory for the Texans?

00:06Some surprises, especially when it comes to some props, maybe for the Chicago Bears roster

00:11or maybe even the Texans roster.

00:13I will note this, I didn't get a chance to say it earlier, Joe Mixon did bang up his

00:17ankle.

00:18He did go down and earlier, I think it was some point at the third quarter, went to the

00:22tent after the tent, went to the locker room and was remaining questionable throughout

00:26the game.

00:27A few little other injuries to add to the tally when it comes to NFL week two, but Tom,

00:32talk to me.

00:33What did you see in this matchup?

00:34Yeah, a interesting set of, I would say, reactions that I have.

00:42You know, first off, Caleb Williams, better than what he did last week.

00:47I think it's going to be tough to judge how good Caleb Williams is if they're not giving

00:53him time to throw the ball.

00:55He's going to make mistakes.

00:56If he's going to be constantly pushed out of the pocket, the pockets can be collapsing

01:00around him and he does not have time to properly go through reads, reading the defense, going

01:05from option one to option two, and then making that third and final read on the offense and

01:10then passing the ball.

01:11If they don't give him time to do that, he's going to look terrible 100% of the time.

01:16And that's not on him.

01:17That's the offensive play calling, that's the offensive line, it's a lot of things.

01:20I will say the Bears defense looks pretty good over the first two weeks.

01:24That is the encouraging thing.

01:26However, when you are constantly asking them to answer the bell, they're going to eventually

01:32give up points.

01:33So holding an awesome Texans offense to only 19 points and only the one touchdown, that's

01:39pretty good.

01:40But eventually they're going to give up points and give up points because it's attrition

01:44at a certain point.

01:45And then on the other side, if you can't have Williams enough time to answer on offense,

01:49we're going to be constantly getting these games with the Bears where they're in third

01:52and long.

01:53And the penalties, the pre-snap penalties for the Bears, the false starts, the delay

01:57of games, constantly putting them in third and long.

02:00That's what I'm noticing from the Bears.

02:01Like it is encouraging to see their defense look good.

02:05And Caleb Williams, when he has time, he can make the plays, but that is so infrequent

02:09that I just don't know what we're going to be getting from him this year.

02:12On the other side, Joe Mixon, as you said, banged up his ankle, didn't do a whole lot.

02:16Stroud did his thing.

02:17Nico Collins is amazing.

02:19We know he's going to do, but it was a slow game from Diggs.

02:21Tank Dell did basically nothing.

02:23And sometimes we're just going to be wrong about the other receivers because one of them

02:26is so dominant.

02:27And that's what we got from Nico Collins.
